The Homemade Music Movement has grown from the roots of the Mail Art Movement, and in order to pay due respect and acknowledge these origins, I propose an international EMAIL audio art project in which contributors will send to me a one-minute miniature audio work in mp3 format (plus visual works if desired) attached to an email. These works will be published together in volumes online.

mp3s are NOT tagged!

Open call to contribute. Anyone and everyone is invited to participate in the International Email Audio Art Project.

send an email to haltapes@gmail.com
with the subject Email Audio Art Project
attach to the email one mp3 file of a one-minute (60 seconds exactly) audio work

in the email state this information:

Name of the artist
Title of the audio work
Country
Contact address (email address or website). This address will be published.

Audio works longer than one minute (60 seconds exactly) or less than 30 seconds (a half minute) will be rejected.
Audio works must be in mp3 format. All other formats will be rejected.
Send only one audio work. If you send more than one with an email all of your recordings will be rejected.
mp3s should be of the highest quality possible. 44.1 kHz, 320 kbps mp3 recommended.

Visual artworks are also being accepted. Visual art must be in jpeg format, and must not exceed 500 KB in size. All formats other than jpeg will be rejected. Send only one visual artwork.

Any and all styles, themes and content will be accepted.

These themes, styles, ideas and keywords are suggested and encouraged: mail art, postal art, correspondence art, collaboration, collage, chance process, DIY, homemade music, experimental music, electronic music, noise, field recordings, cut-ups, lo-fi, lo-tech, circuit bending, hacking, punk folk, compilation, anarcho-libertarianism, Samizdat, art of the everyday, fluxus, spoken word, spontaneous poetics, guerilla and street music, uncovering the latent potentials of the Internet for networking, cultural inclusivity and openness and interactivity.

All audio and visual artworks will be published exclusively online at the Internet Archive. As soon as I receive 60 minutes of audio material I will create a special page on the Internet Archive and will publish a volume of the project. Audio and visual works will be added to the project volumes in the order that they are received. Each time that I collect 60 minutes of audio I will publish a new volume.

ATTENTION PARTICIPANTS OF THE INTERNATIONAL EMAIL AUDIO ART PROJECT!
please collaborate with a new contact from the project for a future compilation volume!

Individuals are allowed to contribute one solo track OR one track by one of their usual groups on each volume of the project. Contributors are encouraged to make contact with other project participants. Individuals are now allowed to contribute an unlimited number of collaboration tracks with other project participants per volume. Each collab track should be with a different collaborator or set of collaborators!

This project will terminate on April 1, 2011. No contributions will be accepted after that date.

This project was created and is curated by Hal McGee: It is my fondest hope that this project will promote contact, networking, exchange of sounds and ideas among audio artists all over Planet Earth.
